Lake District

I have been editing our website recently and got to the section on the Lake District; i could not help remembering the great holiday K and I enjoyed there a few years ago.  We were there in July, but true to form, it was cloudy and rainy on several days.  However, the weather enhanced the beauty of this iconic area, with the fells playing ‘hide and seek’ in the mist.  Yet on other days we had brilliant sunshine and I remember on one occasion sitting by Buttermere in complete isolation except for a family of ducks!  It is a part of the county I would love to visit again, and continue to explore, it the meantime I have settled for the raised relief map of the Lake District as a reminder!
